Hello friends,

 I always laughed at the Jeff Foxworthy “You might be a redneck if” jokes that used to go around. There were a lot of great ones about hunting, fishing, and life in the south. Well, today, with that spirit in mind, I have some things for you to think about. First of all, take a step back, take a honest look at your business building and marketing strategies. Also, try not to laugh…

 You might be losing money to your competitors if….

1. Your website still has a hit counter on it (even worse if that hit counter has 4 digits and hasn’t hit one thousand…)

2. You don’t text message (because that’s what all the “young kids” do right?) Wait let me set up a “conference call” to explain this one to you… Give me a break! Time is money people.

3. You still “fax” important documents (Yea, OK and then I’ll ride my dinosaur to the post office and snail mail you a quote!)

4. You had your website designed pre-2007 and haven’t updated it (no comment.)

5. You pay someone else to do your taxes, and you then file them by mail! (Haven’t you ever heard of Turbo Tax?)... wait a minute, what does this have to do with marketing? NOTHING, but if you save money on your taxes you can put more dough into a marketing campaign!  :o)

6. You don’t know what web 2.0 is… (there’s a good chance if you haven’t heard of this, then the wrong people are designing your site!)

7. You don’t have your business on Facebook (Seriously? OK, this ship has sailed.. but luckily, there are still boats to get on!)

8. You still don’t understand Twitter (People are making money using this tool and it’s ridiculous if you don’t try it!)

9. You use search engines like Alta Vista or Dog Pile (remember that throwback?!?!)

10. You don’t have a smartphone yet (and no, just because your phone has a color screen doesn’t make it smart!!)

 If any of these apply to you… please call or e-mail us. We won’t make fun of you, but we will show you how to get with the times.. It's 2011 people.
